I can't turn a wrench like my father
But I picked up enough that I can change my oil
And I can't play piano like my mother
But I'm pretty sure she's why I love rock n roll
I got a few blood brothers and high school friends
First beers we drank first girls we kissed
We all moved on and grew up again but they're with me everywhere I go
Like iron sharpens iron
Like a river over stone
What touches you changes you even when it's gone
Every teacher preacher lover leaver
Cut from the same cloth believer
I blame em, I thank em
I toast em now and then
Here's to all the people that I am
I said I love you to some real good women
Before I knew we'd be better off being friends
And I see now how every time I said it
I got a little bit closer to knowing what it meant.
Like iron sharpens iron
Like a river over stone
What touches you changes you even when it's gone
Every teacher preacher lover leaver
Cut from the same cloth believer
I blame em, I thank em
I toast em now and then
Here's to all the people that I am
Take the fighters, the forgivers
All the saints and the sinners
Mix em all up together
And you'll understand me better
Like iron sharpens iron
Like a river over stone
What touches you changes you even when its gone
Every teacher preacher lover leaver
Cut from the same cloth believer
I blame em, I thank em
And I toast em now and then
Here's to all the people that I am
